What do I add to the gdal_translate command below so that the output image_out3.tif, whose pixels will be identical to the pixels in image_in1.tif, will include the georeferencing info in image_in2.tif?

Greg,

gdal_translate will not do what you want unassisted.

But you could do:

gdal_translate -of VRT image_in2.tif georef.vrt

then edit georef.vrt and change all occurances of "image_in2.tif" to
"image_in1.tif" and then do:

gdal_translate georef.vrt -ot Byte image_out.tif

I am assuming that image_in1.tif and image_in2.tif are of the same
configuration (size, number of bands, etc).

Best regards,
